Magnus Carlsen is the apex predator of the chess world.

Isn't he the Mozart of chess?

Bet I could be him at Tic Tac Toe.

"An apex predator, also known as an alpha predator or apical predator, is a predator residing at the top of a food chain upon which no other creatures prey."

You said it better than I did!

I never heard the word apical though lol

Just a headsup, slaveryfan1 is down lifetime (after RB) in regular hyper SNGs with $200+ buyins (not sattellites).

Yeah I thought cejakas, tonkaaaa & maybe one or two others were the top regs in HS 6max SNG's
1
Yeah take tonka off of that
2
Why?
1
Because no way in hell he is in the top regs when streaming at the same time. He can't put in those study hours as others are doing. Don't get me wrong he's still a beast, but those other dudes are just ridiculously good at what they do.

Most of the apex predators in my games these days are bots, unfortunately. RIP hu hypers.
Historically, the biggest apex predator in the format was undoubtedly Skaiwalkurrr, though some other names (Serkules, Lotte Lenya for example) also come to mind.

In case you didn't know, Jcarver (or Jason Summervil) is a really strong poker player. He plays hyper sit and gos on twitch poker, and showcases the type of gameplay where the nit style is the worst style to play, which is of course the hyper sit and go. In these sit and gos, you get blinded out very quickly playing the nit style.
I have seen jason summervil go ALL IN preflop with a hand like 10 2 suited! In SNGs, you can use push fold techniques.
Well, he plays against a player who is even better than him called slaverv1fan. I dont think he is better personally, but jhason summervil does.
He alwys calls slaverv1fan the apex predator. meaning the strong player, the best player.
At your games, who is the very best? who do you tremble in fear if they sit to your left? i dont care if its a home game you play at lunch on your job as a construction worker, or a top level MTT player, i am interested to know

Josh is light years ahead of Jason in both satty and 25bb SNGs.

He is absolutely better than Jason. But Jcarver knows that obviously. Jason's sponsorship allows him to play against him without having to sweat too much. There ain't no way Josh would stream his SNG game.

There ain't no way Josh would stream his SNG game.
He has been documenting his life pretty much daily for the last 5 years.
But that's neither here nor there. The only thing I was talking about was who was better. Obviously both are good and both make money from poker.

I'm ignorant to Slayerv1fans content. Surely he doesn't stream which is what I meant. But I'm assuming you mean he has a blog or HH review spot.

fyi jcarver makes most of his money from sports betting (unless I am wrong)

See, this I don't quite figure out. How the heck is he "light years ahead" in a game with such smol edges? Its pretty crazy, I understand hes a crusher, but how much more can u really crush?

How the heck is he "light years ahead" in a game with such smol edges?
Here's an example: using 0 as a baseline, what's more? The % difference between 80 and 90 or the % difference between 1 and 2?
The smaller the edge, the more you have to work to get ahead. If Jason has a -1% ROI and Josh has a +1% ROI, that's MASSIVE because the max you can get is approaching something like +1.5%. Josh studies hundreds of hands per study sesh, and studies several times per week and I'm pretty sure Jason has never studies a hyper spot ever.

Jason is mostly playing hyper turbos nowadays (no offense to you)
You are right though. the very very top is here the edges are small est
in HU, nosebleeds, edges can be pretty big
SNGs? really tough to find that edge.
Do you think that slayer basically just sees a whole world full of fish? When players like me have to table select to find the drunk maniacs?
it must be nice to be on top... and a bit scary knowing theres so many who want to take your place
thanks for your input. I feel like I hagve a much, much better understanding of the situation

You're asking me who the top NL2 reg is? That's such a deep question that I'm genuinely lost right now
Yeah, like is there anyone at 2nl that you insta sit out the game if they sit in to your left? that has happen to me before.
